The heart of a dahlia [Explored] by Foto Martien
Dahlias are worldwide considered of the most popular and spectacular garden flowers. They are natives of the sandy hillsides of Mexico, Central America, and northwestern South America. Dahlias were cultivated by the Aztecs, taken to Europe by the Spaniards in the 18th century, and soon spread throughout the world in widely different climates. There are at least 36 species of dahlia and over 20,000 cultivars. There is a great variety of form in dahlias. This picture was taken in De Passiflorahoeve in Harskamp, the Netherlands. Dahlia's worden wereldwijd beschouwd als een van de meest populaire tuinbloemen. Oorspronkelijk zijn ze afkomstig van de zandige heuvels in Mexico, Midden-Amerika en noordwestelijk Zuid-Amerika. Dahlia's werden in de 16e eeuw al gekweekt door de Azteken, in de 18e eeuw zijn ze naar Europa gehaald door de Spanjaarden, en al snel over de hele wereld verspreid. In 1872 werden dahlia's in Nederland geïntroduceerd. De oorspronkelijke dahlia's - er zijn circa 36 soorten in het wild - zijn kale opgaande overblijvende planten met langwerpige, knolachtige wortels. Het aantal hybriden is al meer dan 20.000 in een grote verscheidenheid aan vormen en kleuren. Deze foto is gemaakt in een van de tuinen van zorgboerderij De Passieflorahoeve bij Harskamp op de Veluwe tussen Ede en Apeldoorn.

Street Photograph of the Day | Bushwick | Brooklyn, NY by jl_auch
It started to snow, and we went for a late afternoon walk underneath the overhead train M train in Brooklyn, venturing toward Flushing Avenue for some beer. I love to photograph in the snow. Often I will photograph until my fingers become numb. Way down the road, I saw the pattern of the umbrella and headscarf against the shuttered stores, and I picked up my pace a bit to try and catch it. However, it was the young girl, off in her own imagination, which caught my eye. As she raised her arm to inspect the snow falling on her coat, I dropped the camera down to my chest and shoot the photo with the screen. I always worry about photographing children; I have been attacked a few times on the street. It seems you are a pervert, pedophile, or terrorist if you have a camera. I have found that the Mexican's in the neighborhood do not mind. | BLOG | Facebook | Twitter | 500px | Flickr | --- Street Photography Workshops, Gear Reviews, Commentary, Tips and Tricks @ jonathanauch.com http://flic.kr/p/e4qS8K jl_auch
